Episode 340
Aiming at the brightness (8)
Moyong Yeonhwa hit Moyonggun who entered the residence.
“father!”
Moyong Yeonhwa’s face was colored with surprise. My father’s clothes were roughly torn here and there. Anyone could see that it looked like it had been after a fight.
“Are you okay? Could it be that Yeon Ho-jeong is…?!”
“Yeonhwa.”
“yes?”
“Go back to your shelter. “I want to be alone.”
Moyong Yeonhwa was about to ask what was going on, but her complexion turned pale for a moment.
Ugh. Ugh.
Mo Yong-gun was perfecting his momentum. However, the moment I spoke to my daughter, my well-controlled heart was shaken.
The trembling of the mind soon caused even the organized momentum to tremble. Mo Yong-yeon-hwa felt suffocated by the frenzied energy waves of Noejeong-gong.
She recognized it right away. That her father was in the worst mood she had ever seen.
“…I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”
“okay.”
Mo Yong-yeonhwa carefully left the room.
And after a while.
bang!
Moyonggun’s fist penetrated the wall and was deeply embedded.
It was a state where internal energy unconsciously protected the body. Of course, his fists were fine, but his mind was not.
“…The Three Religions of Gwangshin?”
What on earth is that?
Are you trying to infiltrate the imperial palace and government offices and overthrow the world? The Mukryongbu is also an organization established by one of the three religions?
…and the power of those organizations is so great, right?
Mo Yong’s eyes were bloodshot.
bang! bang!
It was an uncharacteristically rough punch. Every time he punched a big hole in the wall.
“Gasp.”
I was so angry that my breathing became heavy. If a martial arts expert like Mo Yong-gun couldn’t even control his breathing, it didn’t mean that his heartbeat was usually great.
But after all, Moyonggun was Moyonggun. Even in the midst of unbearable passion and confusion, his subconscious was trying to regain his cool.
‘Why am I so angry?’
Is this something to be so angry about?
He wasn’t insulted, nor was his true face exposed. On the contrary, if what he said was true, it would not be enough to thank Yeon Ho-jeong.
But why am I so angry? Why can’t I hold back my anger?
‘Is it simply because you were surprised? Or is it because the other person knows something I don’t know? Otherwise…’
At that moment, Moyong-gun’s eyes flashed.
The reason he was able to surpass his brothers and rise to the top of the family was due to his outstanding talent, terrifying determination, and cool-headedness that allowed him to defeat even his own blood relatives.
However, even if he was born with many strengths, he would not have been able to purge his brothers if he was not intelligent.
That brilliant brain quickly looked back on the past.
‘Yeah, he wasn’t looking at me.’
Yeonhojeong.
Prince Moyong, together with Yeonhojeong, destroyed the famous family. After that, they clashed countless times and left scars on each other.
But I couldn’t hide my doubts every once in a while.
‘I wasn’t his main enemy.’
Yeon Ho-jeong always set an edge on himself. However, destroying oneself was not the ultimate goal.
To be more precise, that frighteningly powerful driving force was not simply intended to destroy oneself. There were many attempts to destroy him politically, but he always looked beyond them.
The sensitive Mo Yong knew that. But he didn’t admit it.
‘I am the best.’
pride? Pride? Self-esteem? You can say anything.
If you are your own enemy, you should never look the other way. You just have to look at yourself. The head of the Moyong family is not an easy person to the point of giving leeway to others.
But Yeonhojeong was different.
‘why? ‘What were you worried about?’
In the past, I thought Yeon Ho-jeong wanted to pursue power like himself. I thought I was doing this to make my damn family the best in martial arts and to take over the world.
Did you say that in the eyes of a Buddha, only Buddha can be seen, and in the eyes of a pig, only pigs can be seen?
Before he knew it, Prince Moyong had come to the conclusion that even though Yeonhojeong was so different from him, she was no different from him.
“…in other words.”
Mo Yong’s face was distorted into an indescribable sight.
“It looks like he had some leeway in dealing with me.”
If what Yeon Ho-jeong said is true, it means that he has known about the Samgyo for a long time.
There is no way he would have told himself information that he only knew for a short time. You must have thought about it ten or a hundred times carefully before saying it to yourself.
In other words, even though Yeon Ho-jeong’s ultimate goal was to destroy the three religions, he was not only dealing with himself, he was also turning the order of martial arts politics upside down.
“…!!”
Suddenly, Moyong felt goosebumps creeping all over his body.
‘What kind of ridiculous guy…?!’
A double or triple task was done. Until now, I have gritted my teeth and endured something that was difficult to do properly.
It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person. It is questionable whether even a rare genius would be able to do this. Yan Wei and Zhuge Li should have helped, but it was Yan Hao-jeong who made such giants move in the first place.
Yeon Ho-jeong was doing all of that. He was watching everything, was involved in every situation, and even carried out every task without failure.
“Hehehe.”
Moyong collapsed on the floor, bursting into empty laughter.
“…You mean it wasn’t?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face came to mind.
Eyes filled with age that are not typical of young people, and the ability to respond freely whenever the situation changes.
And to an unknowing person who can see two or three times ahead, it is a divine wisdom that can easily be described as a foresight ability.
“Not only is he the only one who can fight on equal footing with me, but he is already ahead of me?”
Moyonggun’s fists trembled.
I didn’t want to admit it. However, if what Yeon Ho-jeong said was true, I had no choice but to admit it.
‘I must kill him.’
Somewhere in my head, someone whispered.
‘I have to kill him. This guy is a monster. If it’s like this now, how big will it be in five years and how much more will it grow in ten years?’
Cold sweat ran down my spine.
When I thought about the ten years since Yeonhojeong, my eyes were blank. If he lasts ten years in this chaotic martial arts forest, then he will become a real monster that will be difficult to catch even if the entire martial forest attacks him in droves.
No, will it take ten years? Considering his ability and talent, it seemed like it could happen as soon as next year.
At that moment, someone else whispered in my head.
‘no. It’s something I’ll have to kill someday, but not now. You must never provoke him.’
why? At least now I’m stronger than him? Wouldn’t it be better to make up your mind and assassinate him?
‘There’s no way he would have given me that information without even thinking about it, right?’
Moyong closed his eyes.
“…It’s ridiculous.”
How shocked must Prince Mo Yong of the world be to waste time worrying about something so pointless?
Moyong-gun leaned his head against the wall.
I had no strength whatsoever in my body. On the other hand, my head was getting scary cold.
‘It’s clear. He’s known about those fanatics and three religions for a very long time.’
It was a certainty, not an expectation.
For a moment, I thought that might be a lie. But it folded right away.
Neither Shin nor Yeon Ho-jeong were small enough to deceive each other with such important information. This was a completely different problem from crossing the line.
Moreover, while fighting Yeon Ho-jeong, Prince Mo Yong read the sincerity and desperation felt in his energy.
No matter how talented a person was, he could not embellish his revealed sincerity.
‘The fact that he opened his heart so wide in front of me means that it will be difficult to endure now.’
The Samgyo Mukryongbu himself.
I’ve managed to hold on while dealing with all that, but now I’ve reached my limit. That’s why he came to see him and suggested that we deal with the common enemy first.
And Yeonhojeong’s choice was truly right. Because he would have done the same.
As I thought about that, Yeon Ho-jeong’s face came to mind.
The face of the beast that hid its nervousness with resoluteness.
‘I hate the Uishinhoe too. ‘Though it’s a different reason than yours.’
‘For you, the Murim Alliance is a sacred place. Those who dared to mess with the Murim Alliance will not look kind in the eyes of the person who wants to become the owner of that sacred place.’
Mr. Moyong burst out laughing without even realizing it.
“It seems like it was urgent. “You’re trying to get rid of me by talking about the Uisinhoe.”
His closed eyes slowly opened.
It felt like my eyes were flashing. My head felt heavy, like when I was a child and suddenly stood up after squatting all day.
It was then.
Slurp.
Countless signs were read by Mo Yong-gun’s spirit.
These people are determined and reveal their prayers as if they have nothing to hide. The level of each individual’s martial arts was low enough to make Mo Yong-gun laugh, but there were quite a few of them that could not be ignored.
‘Is it open?’
Dozens of people also surrounded the area of the residence. They were watching Prince Moyong for fear of any suspicious movements.
Prince Moyong did not react sharply. I had already heard that from Yeon Ho-jeong, and I didn’t have the strength to sharpen my edge anymore.
His eyes turned to the window.
The moon was bright.
“It’s going to be a long night.”
* * *
Yeon Wei and Zhuge Literary Master Mukbi and Yeon Ji-pyeong welcomed Yeon Ho-jeong back to his residence.
“omg! older brother?!”
Yeon Ji-pyeong approached with a worried face.
“Are you okay?”
“Okay.”
It didn’t look good to anyone. There was blood around his mouth, his hair was scattered, and his well-dressed clothes were full of cuts and tears here and there.
Zhuge Wenhu hurriedly asked.
“Did you fight with Prince Moyong?”
“It stuck lightly. “I want to check the author’s sincerity.”
“Hey man, look at your face. “How lightly is that?”
“If by chance the author really had ties to the three religions, I had to do my best. “I broke a sweat for the first time in a while to warm up my body and read the other person’s intentions.”
It meant that he fought with the will to kill him if he failed. Zhuge Munho stuck out his tongue at that extremely ignorant lecture.
“so.”
Yeonwi asked in a serious tone.
“What do you think?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“There is a 100% chance that Mr. Moyong didn’t know.”
“hmm.”
Yeonwi nodded. This was because he was also convinced that Prince Moyong had not joined hands with Samgyo.
Zhuge Wenhu asked.
“Are you sure?”
“Personally, I am sure, but isn’t there such a thing as chance? That’s why I said it was nine pennies worth saving. Even if we are together in the future, we must not relax.”
“Hehe, I see.”
Zhuge Wenhu tapped Yeon Hao-jeong on the shoulder.
“You worked hard. “It was really hard.”
“no. “This is it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong adjusted his posture.
“First, I asked Hu-gae to keep a watchful eye on the area around the residence of the Mo Yong family.”
“Good job.”
“And please gather all those who know the existence of the Three Religions by noon tomorrow.”
“Noon tomorrow?”
Yeon Ho-jeong told the exact same conversation he had with Prince Moyong.
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“That’s right. “There is nothing more certain than seeing the face of someone you know.”
“I think you will also need to prepare the investigation into the three religions.”
“hmm.”
No matter how fiercely we fought in the past, we have now become comrades who must join hands and punish their exploits. Sharing information was essential.
Yeonwi said.
“Let’s do that. “We may not be able to resolve all our past emotions, but we must not hide anything from each other from the moment we form an alliance.”
“This person thinks so too.”
After Zhuge Munho answered, he shook his head and sighed.
“Seeing as how he kept getting on my nerves even though I knew him, he was a really great person in another sense. “There aren’t many people who care this much.”
“You must aim at the Three Bridges with that great ability. Let’s think positively.”
“That’s right.”
Zhuge Liang sighed briefly and took up arms.
“I will come to Pagungak tomorrow at noon. Rest in peace. And Commander Yeon, thank you for your hard work.”
“Please take a look.”
“okay. ah! Previously.”
“yes?”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes sparkled.
“If you are with Mr. Moyong, where do you plan to aim first?”
“You have to target the exposed areas first to find out how they will react.”
“Let’s aim for the bright spot in the middle of the sky… After all, it’s a Shinhwa cult.”
“yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“After the meeting with Prince Moyong tomorrow, I will move immediately.”
